Avaazers!!!!

Today's a HUGE day -- most countries are going to vote 'yes' and Palestine will become the world's 194th nation at the United Nations.

But there's a real risk that the media might not give this incredible event the coverage it deserves. If this happens, this important step towards peace might lose its power. Let's make sure the media sees people the world over celebrating this historic day.

Here's how -- we flood Facebook and Twitter with messages of support and solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Click here to tweet a "welcome" message to Palestine's new official Twitter account

If you're not on Twitter, post a photo of yourself on Facebook making a peace sign with the number "194" written on your wrist like this:





This message is going to super Avaazers who participated in our massive campaign calling on the UN to do exactly what it's doing today: finally recognizing Palestine as a state -- and taking a giant step towards peace.

Journalists love to report about trending topics on twitter and viral facebook actions -- let's create a mega-storm of support, love, and solidarity for our Palestinian brothers and sisters who have waited decades for this day to come. Tweet now and upload a photo to Facebook!

With hope,

Alice, Dalia, Maria Paz, Emma, Ricken, Wissam, Wen-Hua and the whole Avaaz team

P.S. If you'd like your photo to be featured on the Avaaz photo album which will be shared with the Palestinian people, send your photo to photos at avaaz.org right now.
